NRL Round Discussion NRL Round 22, 2024 Discussion

Penrith with a ridiculous leg up penalty to start the game

 

[BroncosHQ]

Another season another storm, roosters or panthers premiership beckons. 3 very well run clubs who have certainly earned their success.

 

[BroncosHQ]

Is there any other sport in the world where you can fix a penalty offence with another penalty offence and play on?
Player runs behind his own player causing an obstruction but stops and does a voluntary tackle and voile, problem fixed, play on.
It's retarded, how did we end up down this path.

Voluntary tackles are legal now.

 

[Canonball]

meh, bs penalty to end half

 

[BroncosHQ]

Voluntary tackles are legal now.

The NRL snuck the rule change by, I'll see if I can dig out the video.



Voila.

Ah good to know Pete.
So it's an interpretation not a rule change?
That example isn't what I was talking about though it prob applies.

 

[mrblonde]

So Player B goes "Oh, shit, if I let Player L tackle me we'll get done for obstruction/whatever, I'll just lie down and cry Uncle"...
It looks a bit weird, but I can't say I'm against it...

 

[BroncosHQ]

Penrith outside backs taking fullbacks high... where I have seen that before

 

[BroncosHQ]

Two panthers high shots where shoulder makes contact with the head... zero sin binnings

 

[BroncosHQ]

How is Tago still on the field? Olam was sent for a similar shot

 

[BroncosHQ]

And now Crossland gone for a HIA due to one of them

 

[BroncosHQ]

Fucking lol... now penrith awarded a penalty for a tackled too hard... this comp is fucked

 

[BroncosHQ]

lol Ponga penalised for tackling too hard

 

[Canonball]

3 of those high shots weren't ... i mean come on

 

[BroncosHQ]

How far out did Gamblor think he was haha

 

[peewee]

3 of those high shots weren't ... i mean come on

Adam Gee in a Panthers shirt AGAIN

 

[BroncosHQ]

There is still a voluntary tackle rule, it just has interpretations now in given situations.

I'm going cross-eyed here Dex.

I think that's been the interpretation for at least a decade at this point, it's just officially become a part of the rules this year to avoid confusion.

dogs well off side in first defensive set, let go

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

The dogs D was very Warriors like for that try.

 

[BroncosHQ]
